[Admin]

Intel CPU stickers can be surprisingly detailed and also reflect earlier versions of a CPU's architecture, depending on when the stickers were ordered relative to the CPU's manufacturing.

Intel has long held a free sticker replacement policy, much to the delight of sticker collectors and OCD sufferers everywhere.

Joking about a torturous and debilitating condition... classy.
You should make a joke about cancer patients being delighted by the nuclear battery, while you're at it.

writer here: I also have OCD, to a sometimes-debilitating extent. you should make less reductive assumptions of others. acknowledging the existence of "OCD sufferers" is not the same as making them the butt of the joke. some people call that "representation", actually.

I'm occassionally stricken with OCD. Very few things in my life are affected, but i will turn myself inside out trying to satisfy the OCD urge when it does happen.

I didn't even notice there was anything improper. 100% feel the comment was more in line with acknowledgment OCD exists and not in any way making fun of OCD sufferers.

The comment wasn't even an attepmt at a joke.

For proof of purchase, you can screenshot or photo an invoice, receipt, or packing slip to send along with your online request form. If you don't have any of that kind of proof, you will be able to save a screenshot from the Intel System Support Utility (linked to via the form) instead.

Was thinking that proving you had a system would be hard but from the other article it would seem it is quite easy

this is a fun fact for me, but I think now knowing that I cannot see the back of the sticker is killing the OCD part of me,

Thats a false equivalent. Even if it wasn't, the original statement is plenty non-offensive. Humor is allowed to make a mild joke towards a troubled populous. You don't see Dyslexics getting up in arms about all the factually inaccurate dyslexic jokes.
-Someone whos dyslexic and whos immediate family got cancer most likely from Chernobyl.

This suggests that the sticker design actually predates the final chip design

Or perhaps it's just rotated because much like the majority of the image on sticker, it's not actually meant to be a one-to-one representative of the actual chip layout. Oftentimes these chip companies will modify photos of their chips in marketing/investor materials to avoid leaking details about the design of their processors.

Sort of like how your avatar image appears to be "joking about" people dying in a cartoon rendition of a WWII battle? We should hope that no one who took part in such battles happens to see the image and be traumatized by it. : P

Really, if you go searching for things to be offended about, you'll probably find that just about anything can be deemed offensive in some way.
